SCHOOL NEWS  The staff and administration of Worthington Elementary cordially invite you to this year’s American Education Week themed Reach. Educate. Inspire. Our school will be open to parents and grandparents that would like to observe what a typical day looks like for students at Worthington. We would like to share with you a snapshot into your child’s daily routine. We invite you to join us anytime between 9:45 am - 3:00 pm throughout the week. We are hoping with a flexible, open schedule, you will be able to find a time that is convenient during your day to visit. As you know, parking can be problematic and spreading your visits throughout the week should lessen the crowded parking lot. Please consider walking and/or carpooling if possible. All visitors will still be required to sign in at the front office and please bring your state issued ID. A few last reminders: This is an educational time for your child. Our daily instruction will continue while you visit. Therefore, please limit any interaction you may have with your child and understand that teachers will not be able to hold personal conversations with you at this time. We also ask that you keep your cell phones off out of respect for the classroom environment. Taking pictures is very distracting to the students, therefore we would like to ask that you refrain from taking photos during your visit.       Celebrate your child's artistic achievement. Your talented child has been creating artwork that you will soon see on a personalized catalog. You'll be able to order memorable keepsakes to be cherished for years.  Stop by the school to see a display of the sampled products. Orders are due November 28th or you can shop online at www.square1art.com/shop.
